Reports From

MONEY FOR
SCHOOLS
Funding of primary and
secondary education was
the outstanding issue in the
General Assembly this
week.
In heated action on the
House floor HB 81, the Democrat sponsored supplemental appropriation for
primary and secondary education, was voted through
as reported out of committee. It would give Ohio
school districts some $91
million from March to June
at a flat $40 per pupil rate.
Discretion for use of the
appropriated funds is left
up to school boards rather than given directly to
teachers and other school
personnel as suggested by
Governor Rhodes.
Several amendments
were rejected which took
issue with the methodoffl-
nancing rather than with the
appropriation itself.
This author supported an
amendment to utilize $108
million of state funds for aid
to Ohio schools in the next
two years. The select Education Review Committee
recently completed months
of study in an attempt to
develop a reformedmethod
of equalizing the distribution of state aid to-ebio
schools. I feel reform is
badly needed to insure that
the rich schools don't continue to become richer,
while the poor schools become increasingly poorer.
The new amendment, which
wastabledby the opposition
party, would have secured
enough money to do the job.
The bill which eventually
passed, without the amendment, provides $91 million
in immediate aid by allocating $40 per each full
time student.
HELP FOR THE
TAXPAYER

million in state income tax
relief to Ohioans. but it too ^

Reports From
The Capital
MONEY FOR
SCHOOLS
Funding of primary and
secondary education was
the outstanding issue in the
General Assembly this
week.
In heated action on the
House floor HB 81, the Democrat sponsored supplemental appropriation for
primary and secondary education, was voted through
as reported out of committee. It would give Ohio
school districts some $91
million from March to June
at a flat $40 per pupil rate.
Discretion for use of the
appropriated funds is left
up to school boards rather than given directly to
teachers and other school
personnel as suggested by
Governor Rhodes.
Several amendments
were rejected which took
issue with the methodoffl-
nancing rather than with the
appropriation itself.
This author supported an
amendment to utilize $108
million of state funds for aid
to Ohio schools in the next
two years. The select Education Review Committee
recently completed months
of study in an attempt to
develop a reformedmethod
of equalizing the distribution of state aid to-ebio
schools. I feel reform is
badly needed to insure that
the rich schools don't continue to become richer,
while the poor schools become increasingly poorer.
The new amendment, which
wastabledby the opposition
party, would have secured
enough money to do the job.
The bill which eventually
passed, without the amendment, provides $91 million
in immediate aid by allocating $40 per each full
time student.
